bruna's baby's nursery
My friend Bruna and her husband are expecting their first bundle of joy in April and have asked me to help with the nursery. We have a fun scheme of stripes, greys, whites and some colour to create a not-so-baby-room for the new arrival. It's a small room, but already is looking twice the size thanks to the stripes on the two side walls. Stay tuned as we furnish the space!

thrifty finds
My thrift store shopping boasted a few goodies for my apartment.
Retro pottery with a great bird & leaf design was a steal at $0.50 and holds a myriad of balms on my nightstand.
This $5 lamp base was paired with a simple $10 white drum shade from Walmart for a great looking piece in the living room.
A $4 silver tray (although slightly damaged) holds my sunglasses on the credenza.

a new old desk
When my dad was in highschool he made a drafting desk in woodshop - a flip top desk on an x base that resided in our utility room when we were kids and which has spent the last 10 years in storage in our shed. So I brought it back with me for use in my apartment.
The desk now occupies and unused corner of the living room which once held an ottoman that I've repurposed in the bedroom. The space is just right for it - small and tucked away from the main sightline when you enter the apartment.
It's perfect to hold my current reading and upcoming projects and all my craft supplies are housed within. I was also able to hang my grandparent's trader blanket off the rear rail. Although I was originally thinking of painting out the top of the desk - I've decided that the patina'd masonite top is just right for my space.

holidays 2011-2012
Said goodbye to the two build projects I'm PM'ing...
in favour of open skies and open fields.
The holidays are so much more enjoyable with a little one around.
Relaxed with Lucy.
Did some antique shopping
Experimented with some festive nails
And enjoyed the first official snow fall.
How were your holidays?
